About Hamilton Beach Power Elite Blender with 40oz Glass Jar and 3-Cup Vegetable Chopper
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
64% highlighted the variety of speed settings, though 36% wanted more options.
On the highest speed, I have to stop the blender and use the lower speed, which eventually blends everything, but it takes a while.
65% appreciated the safety features, although 35% had concerns.
The sharp blade is only at the bottom of the blender, making it safer for my 2.5 year old toddler to help me make smoothies.
I warn about the safety feature of the blender. The blade to the chopper is in unsealed plastic, which can be dangerous.
The cutters/blades are extremely sharp and can cause marks if washed by hand.
The chopper lid can be opened while the cutter is spinning at high speed. I almost opened it while it was running, being used to my old chopper that had a safety switch built in.

78% found it exceptionally quite, but 22% raised concerns.
I rated the blender a 4 for noise level as it is loud, but not louder than an average blender.
I measured the sound of the blender at 90 decibels, comparable to some power tools and just below a snowmobile's sound.
On the lowest speed, the blender's noise level is terrible.
The product makes a loud noise that can disturb neighbors or harm ears.

69% liked how easy it is to clean
Cleaning the countertop-blender is easy and it is easy to disassemble and assemble it back together.
Clean-up is easy because all the pieces are dishwasher safe.
I initially thought it would be difficult to clean, but was pleasantly surprised to find it very easy with no mess or fuss.
The easy-clean feature helps remove bits of food that can get stuck in the blades.

69% appreciated its durability, yet 31% had issues with wear.
I have been using the blender for 18 months and am impressed with the durability of the glass blender jar.
I have been using the blender for over 2 years and it still works great.
I gave the blender points for durability as it lasted for 5 years.
The collar that mates the blades to the pitcher is made of extremely thin and brittle plastic.
66% praised for its powerful blending, but 34% found it underpowered.
The blender produces a very good blend without leaving larger chunks behind, unlike my old one.
I have noticed that the blender struggles with blending fruit and often leaves big chunks, even with added liquid.
I have noticed that the blender struggles with chunky or semi-thick ingredients such as veggies or fruit, but it works well with liquid ingredients.
It takes more than 10 minutes to blend a pitcher of ice and milk for smoothies.
68% liked the quality of the blades, but 32% had issues with dullness.
I can't chop basic onions, celery, or other necessary food items with the blade, no matter how small.
I am having issues with the blending process due to poorly designed and dull blades.
The blade is small and positioned in a dent surrounded by glass, causing only one chunk of food to get chopped while the rest is blocked.
The blades have little torque and are small, dull and stout.
